    A look back at my pool rebuild

    Yes, a great win for the Fallbrook locals. Here in Bonsall, not so much. I almost weep each time I drive by the old San Luis Rey Downs course. Goodness, someone logged some serious time planning out that piece of land. What a show stopper you'll have when you whip everything into shape. And...

    A look back at my pool rebuild

    Fantastic remodel job! I love the solution you came up with for the top of the spa. It's so pretty, and your view. Stunning. (I'm thinking that's overlooking the old Fallbrook Golf Course? We're just down the road from you in Bonsall.) I wish I had known about this site when we built our pool 16...

    Improving Skimmer and/or Robotic Pool Skimmers?

    I use the Solar-Breeze skimmer. Like you anticipate, I found that the VS pump really did not keep up with the debris on the surface at low speeds. It is pricey, but it works very well for me - plus it's solar powered so your pump doesn't need to be running for it to work.

    pH issues--Muriatic Acid question

    I buy 31% from a locally owned pool store (the only pool store I will go to because they never try to sell me anything) 4 gallons at a time. I don't remember exactly what it costs me, but it's certainly not $5/gallon. I take the empties back to them in exchange for new. Call around. A new pool...

    Pool Chick Charge?

    Have no clue as to going rates. My husband has been calling me the pool chick for 12 years :wave: Goodness knows what he'd have to pay if something happened to me!

    Sport type Pool or Traditional Deep End?????

    We have a sport pool - 3.5, 6, 3.5 - 34' long. Can't say that we've missed having a deep end, but the whole family, (kids are adults, no grandkids yet), uses every bit of it. Volleyball and badminton are always fun. We don't have a sun step but we do have a nice long deep ledge to sit on...

    Re: Rounding the Corner to a New Pool Build Gotta say I admire your grit girl! One of our favorite things in the summer is to relax in the pool after a Harley ride. Hang in there!
